Much of Huntsville’s history can be told through its theaters, including its growth, its conflicts, its industry, its debauchery, and glimpses into everyday life for over two centuries. This audio walking tour will guide you through downtown to locations of stage and screen past to showcase the importance of these sites and how they tie in with the city’s history as a whole. Don’t worry, there are some fun scandal and moral panic in there as well, plus the story of how I’m three degrees of separation from Elvis Presley. You can either follow the audio cues to walk along the 1.3 mile route as you listen OR enjoy it from the comfort of home, as I’ll have maps, images, and links posted to the podcast’s website for you to peruse as you listen.
